Luke Daniels made a brilliant point-blank save to deny Kalvin Phillips from two yards out, pushing the ball on to the post before it fortuitously landed back in his arms.

But with an hour played, Brentford went in front following a calamitous giveaway of possession from the home side, not for the first time or indeed the last in the game.

Jeremy Simpson pointed to the spot when Peacock-Farrell clattered Watkins after the Brentford star got to the ball first and saw his shot cleared off the line but the winger appeared to already be going down.

Maupay rolled the ball in, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way for his tenth goal of the season, the first in the top four divisions to reach that tally this season.

10 - Neal Maupay is the first player to reach 10 league goals in the top four tiers of English football this season. Commandment.
